Cheryl's POV: 6 days later:
This was so brilliant, I was going to be getting out of hospital tomorrow and I would no longer be living with my awful Mumzie. Instead, Aunty Alice had officially been named my guardian and so I could legally live with her. My dearest cousin, Betty, came in yesterday and told me that they had a lift installed along with ramps anywhere they were needed, so I could travel around easily enough. TT had said that if I needed any help to just call or get someone to run next door. I was so happy. Mine and B's bedrooms were the 2nd floor while Aunty Alice and Sweets bedrooms were on the top floor. Sadly, I still couldn't feel my legs, but today, I was determined to at least stand up. TT was currently sat next to me reading my favourite book series - The Twilight Saga. About 2 and a half hours later, Toni had finished reading the 2 of the Twilight Series books.
"I'm just gonna go and get a milkshake and some fries from the food Hall. Do you want anything, Cherry?" She said.
"No thanks. Mon Cheri." I said with a smile. As soon as TT left, I dragged my legs over the side of the bed with my hands and breathed heavily. 'You can do this, Cheryl.' I thought positively. Slowly, I placed my feet on the floor. This felt really weird, I couldn't feel the cold tarmac on the bottom of my feet. I began carefully lifting myself up from the bed. My legs weren't helping me hold myself up, it was only my arms. As soon as I was no longer sat on the bed, I quickly grabbed a nearby railing and tried to straighten myself up. As I attempted to grab the bar, my arm on the bed weakened and I fell on the floor. Continuously, I tried to pull myself back onto the bed, but it was no use. I just wasn't strong enough. I would never be any use to anyone. Soon enough, TT and everyone else will realise this and leave me just like Jay-Jay did. I began sobbing as I leant on the side of my bed and started singing underneath my breathe, I sung the song TT sung me when she first told me she liked me - night changes.
Going out tonight
Changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Everything she never had she's showing off
Driving too fast
Moon is breaking through her hair
She said it was something that she won't forget
Having no regrets is all that she really wants
We're only getting older, baby
And I've been thinking about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you
Chasing it tonight
Doubts are running 'round her head
He's waiting, hides behind a cigarette
Heart is beating loud and she doesn't want it to stop
Moving too fast
Moon is lighting up her skin
She's falling, doesn't even know it yet
Having no regrets is all that she really wants
We're only getting older, baby
And I've been thinking about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you
Going out tonight
Changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Reminds her of the missing piece of innocence she lost
We're only getting older, baby
And I've been thinking about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change, baby
It will never change, baby
It will never change me and you
Slowly I began to close my eyes, my breathing slowing down, thinking about TT and everyone else I cared about.
Toni's POV:
As I walked to the food Hall, I started thinking about Cheryl. She had been so brave throughout this... How? How is she able to sit there and act like herself while she watches everyone walk and cross their legs, knowing she can't and may never be able to again? That's why I like her so much, she's so strong and independent but also knows when she needs help and will take it rather than suffering. I smiled. I really want to marry that girl one day. Once I arrived at the food Hall, I ordered a chocolate milkshake, a strawberry milkshake, for Cheryl I know she will want something when I start eating and drinking; and some cheesy fries to share with C as they are her favourite. After I had paid for everything, I went back to Cheryl's hospital room. When I got there I opened the door.
"I'm bac--" I said, stopping halfway through what I was saying when I saw Cheryl. She was on the floor, sprawled out. I rushed over and fell to my knees, trying to find her pulse. Finally, I found 1 but it was very faint. I quickly picked her up and placed her carefully back on the bed. I then rushed out of the room and started screaming for help. About 4 or 5 nurses came rushing over and I explained what I knew. They then rushed in and told me that I had to stay outside. I quickly called Alice, Dad, Jug, Betty, Sweets, Max, Veronica, Archie, Fangs and Kevin and told all of them what happened and that they needed to get down here as soon as possible.
Everybody arrived about 10 minutes later and rushed in. All at once, everyone began asking what was happening. I managed to get all of them to calm down long enough for me to tell them what I knew.
"C was listening to me reading and then I said I was going to the food hall and asked if she wanted anything. She said no. I got her a milkshake anyway and when I got back, she was on the floor, passed out and barely breathing. I quickly got her back on the bed and ran out here to call for help. 4 or 5 nurses rushed over and told me I had to stay out here. That's when I called all of you. That's all I know." I explained. Alice was in tears and dad was trying to calm her down. Betty was pacing while Jug was trying and failing to get her to sit down. Sweets was sat down with his head in his hands and V was sat beside him trying to comfort him, but not sure how to. Max rushed over and hugged me tight, Archie, Fangs and Kevin came over and joined in the hug. Everyone was telling me it was going to be OK, that Cheryl would be fine and that it wasn't my fault.
About 3 hours later, all the nurses came out of C's room and 1 of them came over and said to me "All of you may go in, if you like. Given the circumstances, I will allow you all to go in." no explanation to if she was OK or not. Me, Alice, Betty and Sweets rushed in, leaving everyone else to quickly follow behind. When I walked in, the sight I was greeted by broke my heart. Nothing could've prepared me for this... Again.
